That’s not to say you can’t cut them (take a Stanley knife to the sidewall and you’ll go right through it) but it’s seems very durable against the kinds of scuffs and impacts that claim the lives of most tyres. It’s super light and highly flexible so it doesn’t affect the ride quality of the tyre’s supple 120TPI casing, but it has excellent abrasion resistance. Mitas use a reinforcement in their sidewalls called Textra.
That’s the kind of product back up we like to see, and one we’ve never encountered before in the fragile world of tyres. Slice the sidewall of your tyre, under normal riding conditions, within 100 days and Mitas will replace your tyre for free. We’ve been running the Kratos in a 29×2.4″ size on a Norco Optic. With a big 2.45″ bag it’s aimed at the trail rider – consistent grip and a forgiving ride are what this tread are all about. Mitas tyres made in the Czech Republic, and they’re gaining quite a following in the local Australian cross-country racing arena (a couple of very fast riders by the names of Dan McConnell and Bec Henderson use their tyres). Mitas Kratos sounds like the villain out of a comic book, or maybe the bad guy in a Cold War era Stallone movie.
Some cracking beginning to occur after three months.
